@cursor_ai Paris May Meetup, 80+ builders, Thursday night, @avec_alan HQ.
The room was packed and the energy was real ๐ฅ
What happened:
โ Paul Dumaitre (Cursor Field Engineer) walked us through Cloud Agents, parallel builds, and the AI Maturity Curve for Eng Orgs at scale
โ Tim P. (Software Engineer, Alan) gave a deep dive on building Hopper, Alan's AI health companion - from "life before Hopper" to shipping it with their engineering team
โ Micha Hernandez van Leuffen (Founder & CEO, Fiberplane) on what they learned turning agent work into an unsupervised software factory
โ And then: 2 hours of pizza, drinks, and the kind of conversations that only happen when you put 80 builders in the same room on a Thursday night
This is what Cursor community in Europe looks like. Real talks. Real workflows. Real people sharing what actually works (and what doesn't).
Thanks to Alan for hosting and to @byronlove111 for co-organizing.
We're just getting started. Next one is cooking ๐

From self-taught coder to @cursor_ai Regional Lead for Europe ๐ช๐บ
3 months ago, I ran my first Cursor meetup in Paris. 400+ people registered. The energy was electric.
How we got here:
โ 2023: left my private equity job and taught myself to code in 2 months
โ 2024: shipped like a madman inspired by @marclou
โ 2025: built a finance community, ran competitions and meetups
โ Dec-25: slid into @benln's DMs on X
โ Jan-26: became Cursor Ambassador
โ Feb-26: Cafรฉ Cursor Paris (logistics humble you faster than any LBO model)
โ Mar-26: march meetup at Orus where @fr4nnyp4ck dropped a banger of a talk.
โ Apr-26: sponsored the HEC MBA Hackathon
โ Apr-26: met the team IRL in Paris
โ And here we are ๐ค
Not slowing down:
โ May-26: May Paris Meetup at @avec_alan HQ w/ @byronlove111. Live Q&A with a Cursor engineer, killer talks,๐pizza & drinks. Spots are disappearing fast.
โ Jun-26: Another BIG one is dropping. Stay tuned ๐ฅ.
Now the mission scales up: More cities, more formats, more ambitious partners, more mind-blowing eventsโฆ and probably a lot less sleep. ๐
We're building the most vibrant, high-signal AI developer community in Europe.
๐ฅ If youโre building with Cursor and want to get involved : host an event, become an ambassador, or partner up. My DMs are wide open. Lead a conference/summit coming up in Europe? DM me.
And remember: even the best AI still canโt book the perfect venueโฆ thatโs why we need humans (for now). ๐
@benln, @sunrao , @ftnabeelah
@BhosalePratim@sunrao@cursor_ai thatโs clearly something we can discuss. letโs set up a quick intro visio next week. can you please DM me your availabilities + email so that i can share a link ?
